Parking was also addressed in the speech given by applicant Amir Ramezani, who acknowledged that it was a recurring issue throughout the consultation process.
Citing undesignated spaces, outsiders parking on the estate and verge parking as the three current issues, Mr Ramezani said his scheme solves all but one of those problems.
What can t be remedied, he said, is outsiders parking on the estate: This will only be solved by controlled parking of some description.
Such a possibility was ruled out by Cllr Martin Sachs (Lab, Barkingside) in his contribution to the debate. Cllr Sachs - speaking on behalf of fellow ward councillor Khaled Noor and Ilford North MP Wes Streeting - stated that plans for controlled parking in Barkingside were pushed back by four years at least at last week s council cabinet meeting.
